Organised a last minute trip via easyjet whose hotel section luckily included this very nice hotel (which confusingly has been known by other names in the past) at a very reasonable price. The hotels best point is the spa centre comprising 3 pools at different temperatures sourced from thermal water from nearby St Margarets island. The spa complex was clean... more

We had a weekend break in Budapest in May. Hotel Helia is little out of town, but taxi was cheap and the front desk called us taxi every time we wanted. We had thai massage and normal massage and they were both nice. The hotel has a pool area, but I wouldn't call it a spa. There are pools that... more

Hotel was very nice, and had an excellent breakfast buffet. Don't know if it was just our floor, however, but the entire floor was very hot (and it was October and rainy weather). Others on our tour complained about this also. Hotel is away from the city center, but the subway is about 5 blocks away. It is right on... more

Everything was all right, expected better service and more helpfil stasff. City is beautifull, bit poluted. The hotels facilities were extremely poor as it ads itself as wellness. more

The Hotel Helia was a nice and comfortable hotel in Budapest. The rooms were clean, well decorated and a resonable size. The gym and spa facilities were great. The restaurant offers a buffet meal which allows you to try a lot of local food and was very reasonable. The hotel is centrally placed with excellent views of the Danube and... more

This large hotel is located in a transitional area, but felt safe walking in the neighborhood at night. The room we stayed in was small, but comfortable and well equipped, clean, none-smoking, although the floor was not designated as such -- same problem everywhere where you go in H. The thermal facilities are clean, well maintained, but basic. There was... more

Staying in Budapest in late January was a bit surreal. The city was very quiet with not many people around.... and the hotel was the same. The good thing was that we got bumped up to a suite. Large room with king size bed, large bathroom with matching bath and good shower. We had a balcony overlooking the river and... more

The Helia is a big hotel with thermal facilities. It's definitely not in the city centre and the neighbourhood is quite depressing, but you can reach the underground with a 5-minute walk. The staff are not warm and it seems they don't like their job very much. The room was clean, not small, comfortable but quite basic. The bathroom was... more

We have just returned from Budapest, staying there for our honeymoon. The Hotel Helia is first class.It is in a quiter area, but still only a 10-15 minute walk to the main centre. Our room overlooked the danube and Margeret Island. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming on our arrival and were always... more
